The greater part of the material wherewith the work detailed in this paper was done, was obtained during my stay in Calcutta during the early part of 1891, and I am greatly indebted to the Committee of Management of the Calcutta Zoological Gardens, and especially to Professor D. D. Cunningham, F.R.S., both for assistance in getting the animals required and for facilities placed at my disposal for carrying on my work in that country. Two hundred female Macacus rhesus were sent to me from Muttra and thirty from MDCCCXCVII.—B. 6.4.97
